Whole-body distribution and brain tumor imaging with (11)C-4DST: a pilot study.

Abstract

The initial findings of the present study in a small group of patients indicated that (11)C-4DST PET is feasible for imaging of brain tumors.

Dosimetry and pharmacologic safety were acceptable at the dose required for adequate PET images.
